The official Pakistani Thread for the class of 2016

<p>Thanks! I’m from KGS. Mine’s NatSci at Clare (LOVE the place!). Did you go there for your interview, and is Cambridge your first choice?</p>

<p>Sort of… having gone over the disappointing MIT rejections from previous years’ Pakistan threads, I’m trying to make it my first choice :stuck_out_tongue: I’m guessing it already is for you?</p>

<p>Nah… had my interview here in Lahore.</p>

<p>Haha aww, good luck for MIT. They have an exchange programme with Cambridge for Engineering students though, so you can still spend a year there if it doesn’t work out.</p>

<p>Yup, I’ve been going over the details for that programme ever since the acceptance. Of course there HAS to be selection stage even there, too -_- … Thanks! I guess we’ll know in a couple of days if we’ll meet at Cambridge or not! Are you waiting for any US decisions?</p>

<p>BTW, how were the CalTech decisions at KGS?</p>

<p>@suhail
I’d rather prefer cambridge(on a scholarship) over MIT if i was you.</p>

<p>By the way,have you applied to Harvard,Yale?.With all those distinctions and steller SAT scores that you have bagged,you stand a great chance to say the least</p>

<p>Yes, I’ve applied there. I pray the next few weeks go well for all of us! :)</p>

<p>So did you recieve the interview call from Harvard?.
Did anyone else from Aitchison recieve the harvard interview call?</p>

<p>One besides me… Do you know how many people were interviewed?
I think the only people I heard about who got interviewed are from Islamabad… not sure, though.</p>

<p>No,not any that i know of.But obviously there would be a couple or more from KGS</p>

<p>I know of a KGS accepted to WUSTL.</p>

<p>Decision dates :slight_smile:

<p>I dont think anyone from KGS has been accepted for Caltech.
And yes. 1 KGS for WUSTL
and 1 harvard interview.</p>

<p>I have my Richmond Oldham interviews tomorrow.
Does anyone know of last year’s Roots’ person who got it?
Any idea what they ask?</p>

<p>^ So does that mean that this year again no one got into Caltech, someone needs to break this chain :P</p>

<p>btw what are the chances of getting into a College that wait-lists you? I mean are there like any chances or its a lost cause from day one?</p>

<p>@usamatiwana : Last year a Yale waitlist got accepted. I guess it also depends how high up the waitlist are you :/</p>

<p>Has anyone here had a skype interview??</p>

<p>^ Yep, had my Princeton interview over Skype. The interviewer was a grad student at CMU. Plus he majored in Computer Science so we kinda had a-lot of common interests so it went pretty great, better than the MIT one I’d say which was in person.</p>

<p>chances of a waitlistee getting accepted are close to none.In terms of percentage,I think only about 2% or 2.5% of all that have been wait listed get lucky.Though,the year before the last one,a guy from our school who was waitlisted at MIT got accepted.But these are rare cases.</p>

<p>Oh, well I just hope it doesn’t come to such a point.
Anyways 2 more days till MIT’s decision comes out, Good Luck everyone.</p>
